CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,847, dated April 14. 1885.

Application filed April 28, 1.884.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER. J. SHIPPEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fowler, in the county of St. Lawrence and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon. which form a part of this specification.

' Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical sectional view of my churn, and Fig. 2 is aplan view of the same with the top removed.

This invention has relation to churns; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of a folding dash-frame of two se ries of intersecting slats pivoted together at their points of intersection and provided with corner extensions pivoted to the frame by screws, whereby said corner extensions may be held in braced position to fasten the frame in the churn, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the body of a box-churn, and B the folding frame, which is placed diagonally in-the churn, its edges being seated in alternate corners. The dash-frame is made of slats, one series of slats, 0, extending parallel to each other and at right angles to the other series of slats, D. The slats G and D are pivoted to each other at their intersections E. By pressing the diagonally-opposite corners of the frame toward each other the slats G O and (No model.)

D Dare brought together in folded position, so that the frame can be easily introduced into the churn.

In applying the dash-frame the slats are opened out from each other until the slats 0 stand at right angles to the slats D. Then the frame is fastened in position by means of the pivoted corner extensions F, which are turned outward, their ends engaging the top of the churn closely. These extensions F are pivoted to the frame by means of thumlrscrews G, and when the extensions are in position to brace the frame and secure it the thumb-screws are turned up firmly, so that they will hold the extensions in fixed position.

In order to take out the dash-frame the thumb-screws are loosened and the extension turned back sufficiently to'release the frame, which can then be removed.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters'Patent, 1s

In combination with a churn, a removable folding dash-frame consisting of two series of intersecting slats pivoted together at their points of intersection, and provided with 001'- ner extensions pivoted to the frame by thumbscrcws, whereby said corner extensions may be held in position to brace and fasten the framein the churn, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

. PETER JESSIE SHIPPEE.
